A propos de cet article

[2], xvii, [1], 198, [6] pages. Appendix. Minor wear to DJ. For Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, the transition from the White House to Plains, Georgia, was painful. EVERYTHING TO GAIN is their warm and unpretentious account of their successful adjustment to a new life, full of encouragement and insight for any couple wanting to renew their commitment to each other and to life. James Earl Carter Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician and humanitarian who served as the 39th president of the United States from 1977 to 1981. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 76th governor of Georgia from 1971 to 1975, and as a Georgia state senator from 1963 to 1967. He is the oldest living former U.S. president and the longest-lived president in U.S. history. Eleanor Rosalynn Carter (née Smith; August 18, 1927 - November 19, 2023) was an American writer and activist who served as the first lady of the United States from 1977 to 1981, as the wife of President Jimmy Carter. For the decades she was in public service, she was a leading advocate for numerous causes, including mental health. Derived from a Kirkus review: A fascinating page-turner, as much for the down-to-earth counsel on getting on with life as for the personal revelations of the former President and First Lady. They left the White House to Ronald Reagan with what comes through here as a great deal of bitterness. Getting back to Plains, things weren't immediately better: their finances were a mess; their house in disrepair; daughter Amy lonesome; their own spirits near bottom when Rosalynn suddenly became ill. All signs were down, but as told here in a joint narrative (with individual interjections when recollections or interpretations differ), they pulled themselves through by getting involved in a host of projectsâ"from flooring the attic to starting the Carter Center. They discovered: writing, volunteerism, travel, fly-fishing, carpentry, exercise, family and each other. While their Baptist faith is bedrock, it's not an intrusive factor; the Carter's sensible, sensitive awareness to the problems of maturity and their energetic yet workable solutions predominateâ"they're inspirational without being the least bit preachy or patronizing. Sure to be a biggie, for what it reveals about a political enigma and for its compassionate, caring advice. First Edition. First Printing [per Random House convention--if stated First Edition and number line starts with 2 then this is a first printing.…
